I'm a thin, flat chest woman. It is said that I should have teardrop implant so that the breast has natural look. Should teardrop breast implant be placed by armpit incision or infra-mammary incision?

Answer: Teardrop implants it is difficult to orient teardrop implants accurately through a transaxillsry incision. I’m not a fan of teardrop implants overall. There was recently a study in which plastic surgeons tried to guess if other surgeons patients had found or teardrop implants, including being able to feel them. They couldn’t tell which was which!

Answer: Insertion of Tear Drop or Anatomical Breast Implants Placing an anatomical or tear drop implant through an infra-mammary incision is often better to insure correct orientation of the implant. These implants are textured and proper orientation is important.

Answer: Breast implants incisions / scars There are different approaches to insert an implant in a breast augementation procedure. The resultant scars are either around your areola, in your axilla, at your belly button or in the crease under the breast, depending on the technique used. It is preferable to use the infra mammary approach that results in scars in the crease under the breasts. This approach helps precisely dissect the pocket into which your implant will be placed. This is very important factor in the aesthetic outcome of the operation. It also helps adjust the position of the inframammary crease that can change depending on the implant selected. Also,there is potentially an increased risk of infections in the trans areolar, axillary or trans umbilical routes. In the trans areolar approach the dissection is done right through the breast tissue thereby disrupting the milk ducts and nerves to the nipple. The dissection is carried out entirely under the breast gland in a infra mammary approach.The trans umbilical approach can only be used for saline implants.
